The Jeep Wrangler 4xe Unlimited Rubicon stands out because of its 4x4 drivetrain. The Rock Trac Full-Time 4WD has a two-speed transfer case with a high-torque setting for steep or slippery terrain. Furthermore, its off-road tires are ideal for both trails and challenging conditions on the pavement.Â
There are rock protection sill rails installed to prevent scraping up of the 4x4, as do the fuel tank, transfer case, and transmission skid plates. Plus, the machined aluminum wheels with Black pockets are sure to withstand even the toughest of outdoor conditions.
